Nanny State Bums Parents Out

|
It's impossible to overstate how strongly I agree with Glenn Reynold's argument that safety fascists discourage people from having children by making it no fun.
commentator John Gibson is calling for "procreation, not recreation." But I think that attitude is part of the problem. (Procreation not recreation? As an old-timer once reportedly said in response to the Make Love, Not War, slogan: "Hell, in my time we did both.") But Gibson's slogan unwittingly captures an important aspect of the problem, in the United States and other industrial societies, at least: We've taken a lot of the fun out of parenting.
